SACAJAWEA PEAK

A couple weeks ago, Brock and I hiked Sacajawea Peak in the Bridger mountains near our home. Sacajawea is the highest peak in the Bridgers and a pretty intense hike. It's 4 miles round trip with about 2,000 feet elevation gain. We started early in the morning and hiked alone up the mountain with our doggies. The terrain was pretty rocky and there were many "Jagged" switchbacks on the trail. The views were absolutely amazing and we loved every minute of it. I would do this hike again in a heartbeat!!!


This is the mountain from the road, Sacajawea is the peak on the right.

Brock, Boog & Brutus starting the switchbacks. People were pretty impressed that our little doggies made it the whole way-they love it!

The backside of the bridgers and if you look close you can see the trail & switchbacks at the bottom.

We were so excited that we saw Mountain Goats on our hike, neither of us had ever seen them before!
On the tip top of the peak there were two goats just hanging out. They didn't seem at all bugged with people being around and we were able to get some really good pictures of them. (we were close enough to them that we could have saddled them up and rode them down the mountain while calling them Sally & Harriette)

This goat came right down to us- I think that she wanted a treat out of our bag.
(Boog went ballistic and freaked them out and they ran to the other side of the peak)

Where'd you get those cool cardboard cutouts of the mtn. goats and how hard was it to carry them up to the top of Sacajawea?

Way cool! The goats look kind of big in those ics. Can't believe your doggies went with you! How tough!
